Chapter 78 Rejection
Wen Yan soaked herself in the bathtub, and Qi Yuan's words just now kept appearing in her mind uncontrollably.
"No matter how much Lu Junze pretends to be a decent person, he is still a member of the same circle. He keeps changing little boys behind your back. How can you be sure that he is not playing with you?"
How can he be sure? He can't be sure.
He has always been curious about where Lu Junze's love for him came from.
He does have a pretty face, but with Lu Junze's status, he comes into contact with too many handsome men and beautiful women, and he can't be said to be particularly outstanding.
But he couldn't think of anything else.
Wen Yan suddenly realized at this moment that there was nothing special about her that could make Lu Junze treat her differently.
It seems to be just a spur of the moment thing.
Wen Yan submerged herself in the water, thinking she could start over, but she didn't expect it to be a new trap!
I can’t say I’m sad, but I feel a little lost.
Wen Yan was more thankful that she woke up early this time.
In the evening, Lu Junze sent a message. Wen Yan took a look at it and did not chat with him as usual. She simply replied, "I'm a little tired today, I'm going to bed first."
He did not respond to Lu Junze's request to "have dinner together tomorrow".
Lu Junze vaguely sensed that something was wrong with Wen Yan and became much colder towards her.
But he was fine after sending someone back today. He couldn't figure out what happened in such a short period of time. He could only blame it on Wen Yan being tired from work and needing to rest.
The next day, when Lu Junze sent a "good morning" message to the company, still no one responded.
Lu Junze was undoubtedly smart. He realized that something must have happened, which caused Wen Yan's attitude to take a sudden turn for the worse.
He couldn't stay in the company anymore, so he drove directly to Wen Yan.
When he arrived at the gate of the community, he called. Wen Yan was exercising. Looking at the screen showing "Brother Lu", he hesitated for a moment before finally picking up the phone.
Wen Yan: "Hello?"
Lu Junze: "It's me. Can we have lunch together at noon?"
Wen Yan: "No, I have an appointment."
Wen Yan found an excuse and asked him to accept someone else's feelings, but he would hesitate, but if asked to give up, he would be very decisive.
Lu Junze was now certain that something he didn't know about must have happened when he was not aware of it. After thinking about it for a while, he realized that Qi Yu'an lived across the street from Wen Yan, so it was possible that he was the one who said something.
He didn't think that Wen Yan hadn't forgotten their old relationship and was wavering between them. On the contrary, someone with Wen Yan's personality, who seemed easy to talk to, actually knew what she wanted best.
Lu Junze: "I'm in your neighborhood."
Wen Yan was silent, not knowing what to say.
"We need to talk." Lu Junze paused and continued, "Should we go out and talk now or should you invite me up to talk?"
The power of Lu Junze as a superior was undoubtedly revealed at this moment.
Wen Yan sighed: "Brother Lu, please wait a moment."
While waiting, Lu Junze pondered over and over again in his mind where the problem might lie.
If he were Qi Yu'an, he would find ways to take advantage of the situation.
He soon realized that if he were Qi Yu'an, in this situation, the most effective way would be to use the other party's past love history to attack.
He took a deep breath and thought to himself that he was careless. He should have taken the initiative to explain things to Wen Yan earlier.
Before he could come up with a solution, Wen Yan knocked on his car window.
"Sorry, I was just working out, so I cleaned up a bit."
Wen Yan's hair was still wet. Someone was waiting for him, but he was sweating all over, so he could only rinse it as quickly as possible.
Lu Junze opened the car door and said, "Get in."
Wen Yan didn't ask anything and got into the car.
The car was parked in a park near the community.
On weekdays, you can only see a few elderly people playing with their children in the park, and there are not many young people.
Wen Yan spoke first: "Brother Lu, what is it that makes you so anxious to talk to me?"
Lu Junze looked at Wen Yan and saw nothing unusual on her face. She looked the same as usual, even her tone hadn't changed, but Lu Junze was sensitive enough to sense the difference between politeness and distance.
Lu Junze didn't want to beat around the bush: "Wen Yan, what happened after I went back yesterday? Can you tell me?"
It was too direct. Wen Yan was stunned. Was her expression so obvious?
But since the other party was so direct, Wen Yan did not intend to hide it: "How many relationships have you had before?"
Lu Junze: "One paragraph."
Wen Yan asked directly: "Is there only this one person?"
Lu Junze didn't intend to lie. After all, if he told a lie, he would need more lies to cover it up. "No."
Wen Yan understood: "Yeah."
Lu Junze explained: "I'm sorry I didn't make it clear before, but I'm very serious about relationships."
Wen Yan understood what he meant. He acknowledged a relationship, which meant he had invested in it, while others were just transactions.
It's a willing relationship, and we both get what we want. There's nothing wrong with that.
But Wen Yan couldn't accept it, he remembered the contract he had signed.
Wen Yan: "Brother Lu, let's forget about it. If you don't mind, we can be friends in the future."
Lu Junze frowned. He knew Wen Yan would mind, but he didn't know she would mind so much as to refuse directly without any hesitation.
Lu Junze: "Wen Yan, it's my fault that I didn't explain this clearly in advance, but I don't think this should be a reason for rejection. I don't date promiscuously. I have had people before, but we parted ways amicably. I am serious about you."
Wen Yan shook her head: "Brother Lu, I am not saying that you have had promiscuous relationships in the past, but I believe you should know my experience. I was once kept by someone for three years..."
Lu Junze didn't want to hear Wen Yan belittle himself, so he interrupted him and said, "Wen Yan, I don't want to support you. I've said that if you are willing, our relationship is based on marriage."
Wen Yan still shook her head: "Brother Lu, please listen to me."
Lu Junze stopped interrupting him: "Okay."
"It's not that I don't believe you are serious, but I don't believe in myself. I can't find out how I can be worthy of you. If we are together, it will make me doubt myself and then doubt you." Wen Yan analyzed calmly: "No relationship can withstand such consumption, so we are not suitable, there is no need to waste your time on me."
Lu Junze explained anxiously: "You are very good, Wen Yan, don't deny me because of these speculations."
Wen Yan: "I'm not good enough, at least not worthy of you. If you take me out, others will only think that I'm your little lover. No one will say that they are really a good match, right?"
Lu Junze was silent.
Lu Junze: “I don’t care.”
Wen Yan: "You don't care because you are the better one, I care."
Lu Junze: "What if I don't give up?"
Wen Yan smiled: "It won't have any effect!"
Lu Junze looked at Wen Yan, with a smile on his lips, but no smile in his eyes, he looked very determined.
Knowing that there was no way he could explain it to others, Lu Junze chose to take a step back. He did not say yes or no, he just said "I understand".
